Royals Beat Tampa Bay 2013, 5-4
The Kansas City 1977 Royals locked up a win at Royals Stadium, knocking off the Tampa Bay 2013 Rays, 5-4. On the mound for Kansas City 1977 was right-hander Jim Colborn. He played a major role in the triumph. Kansas City 1977 reliever Larry Gura picked up the win, upping his record to 2-0. Alex Cobb absorbed the loss. Kansas City 1977 is now 24-24, Tampa Bay 2013 21-31.

Up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, three-time Gold Glove Award winner Amos Otis had a chance to be the hero. Tampa Bay 2013 pitcher Alex Torres wanted to foil that plan. But with one out, Otis hit a sacrifice fly. The Royals had themselves a thrilling win.

"The crowd was juiced," said Otis.
